GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Remains on the defensive despite having recovered the 185.00 zone

  • GBP/JPY rebounds from the daily low, but is still trading in the red by 0.31%.
  • The bulls would regain control once they reclaim 186.00.
  • The bears would regain control if GBP/JPY falls below 185.00.

GBP/JPY regained some ground but is still trading down 0.31% late in the North American session on risk-off momentum as investors sharply reduced bets that the US Federal Reserve The US would cut rates as aggressively as traders expected. The pair is trading at 185.86 after reaching a daily high of 186.54.

The pair posted a nine-day low of 185.08 before bouncing off those lows, but is hovering around the 185.80 area. That said, Monday’s price action is forming a hammer, implying that GBP/JPY could retest higher prices. The first resistance would be the 186.00 area, followed by the Tenkan-Sen at 186.86. Once overcome, the next resistance would be 187.00.

On the other hand, a bearish resumption could occur if GBP/JPY sellers drag prices below 185.00. That would pave the way to test the Kijun-Sen at 184.71, followed by a support trend line around 184.25/35, before falling to the 184.00 area.
